An Insurgent Upends New Jersey’s Political Machine

Rep. Andy Kim’s (D-NJ) U.S. Senate campaign is upsetting what most thought would be the coronation of Tammy Murphy (D), the spouse of the Gov. Phil Murphy (D), the Washington Post reports.

“Kim has taken on the mantle of the unlikely insurgent candidate trying to take down the vaunted machine of the New Jersey Democratic Party, where for decades political bosses in the 21 counties have wielded outsize power to determine who gets elected.”
